Okay, I'm making up a "Nice" list, like I'm fuckin' Santa Claus, bitches. BUT! You only make my list if you're a member of the US Congress and you stand up for trans people, like Rep.-Elect McBride. So far I have Ocasio-Cortez, Frost, and Robert Garcia. If you know of any others, let me know.
The tech behind resealable snack bags is getting progressively worse. The closer you are sealing to the top of the zipper, to the point that I have to use scissors carefully to avoid cutting the zipper, the less useful that it's becoming. This is a problem with them as a whole, across brands.

“He’s got a really good outlook on the world.”
“I really liked him.”
“I was impressed with the kid.”

The ultimate takeaway from the "28-point plan" (honestly, too many points for the plan to be taken seriously) is this; "Europe, you are on your own. Your only hope is a rapidly militarized Germany to step into the void being left. Good luck. What could possibly go wrong?"

It is comical that Putin would refer to the inappropriately-named "peace" proposal presented to Ukraine as a "U.S. plan." It is a Kremlin plan that might as well have been written in the original Russian.

86 Democrats voted for this right wing garbage bill.
One of the biggest problems in US politics is that many Democrats lack even a hint of courage.

Before lawmakers rushed to the airport for a Thanksgiving break, the House passed a GOP resolution 'denouncing the horrors of socialism.' The House also passed that in 2023.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This is a man whose wife was SHOT IN THE HEAD having to act even-keeled when the President of the United States tries to incite violence against him. Trump has to go, right now.
I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This bullshit is why Mayo Pete should never be the nominee, especially given how much he has benefited from his "identity" as a white male, Ivy League graduate, who is a heteronormative gay.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
